If in group "B" footballers from Kremenchuk lead the standings for a long time, then in group "A" the leader changes after almost every round.

At the start of the second round, a newcomer to the competition at the professional level, "Pass". To do this, the Transcarpathians had to prevail at home over "Kalush", which before this confrontation and took the first position. Frankly, the fate of the match was decided in the debut, when first his sixth goal in the championship was scored by the home scorer Robert Hegedosh, and soon the captain of "Minaya" Mykhailo Kopolovets once again forced the visiting goalkeeper Roman Herych to capitulate. In order to break the game, Kalush manager Vasyl Malik made three substitutions in the first half, but it did not bring any dividends. The only thing that can please the people of Prykarpattia is that they avoided defeat, because two more opportunities to excel were not used by the already mentioned Hegedosh, Vasyl Kobin, Yaromir Loboda and Vasyl Ponyashko also missed from advantageous positions…

After the final whistle, the head coach of "Minaya" Igor Kharkovshchenko commented on the next victory as follows: "I set up my wards to score a quick goal. As you can see, they even exceeded this task. The redeployment of Vasyl Kobin in the line of attack of the station wagon also justified itself, proving once again that he can play effectively in any position. At the right moment, he held the ball, played to his partners, threatened the visitors' goal on his own… »

But Kharkiv's colleague from Kalush, Vasyl Malik, was succinct: “Before this match, our team's skate was order on the field. Unfortunately, "Minai" beat us with our own weapon… "

Undoubtedly, the current season will be remembered for a long time and the manager of Vinnytsia "Niva" Denis Kolchin. Even after the match of the 3rd round with Veres, the president of SFK Niva Vasyl Vovk announced that he had been fired, but the case did not come to resignation. And after the match of the 9th round with Chaika, the coach himself, dissatisfied with the arbitration, resigned, but now the club management did not satisfy the request of the specialist. And did not lose. Yesterday Kolchin's wards snatched the victory in Ternopil, consolidating themselves in the leading group.

It should also be noted that if in Group A six participants apply for prizes at once, then in Group B the players of Kremen and Girnyk have already managed to break away from their pursuers. It is also worrying that at the bottom of the standings are teams from Khmelnytsky and Nikopol - cities with football traditions…
